AngioScreens

Is your Heart's Health Worth 6 Minutes of your Time?

Redmond Regional Medical Center's AngioScreen® is a simple, non-invasive vascular screening designed to provide you with information about your circulation and your risk of heart disease and stroke. It involves no pain, no needles, no dye or radiation.

AngioScreen® includes the following eight important cardiovascular screenings:

Carotid Artery Ultrasound

Peak Blood Flow Velocity

EKG

Pulse

Body Mass Index

Blood Pressure in Both Arms

Ankle Brachial Index-Checking Blood Flow in the Leg Arteries

Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound

Immediately following the screening, you'll receive a color ultrasound picture printout with data showing your risk for heart disease and stroke and a consultation with a healthcare professional.

AngioScreen Testimony

"I'm 35 years old with no health issues to warrant this test; however, my dad was the reason I had Redmond's AngioScreen. He was in his early 40's when he had his first stroke and passed away at 61, just two days before my AngioScreen. With his recent health issues, it just sounded like a good idea. When the test was over, the AngioScreen team gave me the all clear on my cardiovascular health but pointed out this questionable nodule on my thyroid. Even though one physician I saw said there was only a 10% chance that it was anything and he would recommend just keeping an eye on it every 6 months or so, my wife and I chose to go ahead with a biopsy. The next thing I knew I had papillary carcinoma and my entire thyroid had to be removed. Because the cancer was detected at such an early stage, there was no radiation, no chemotherapy, and only one surgery!

I give God all the glory for placing all of these people in my life to reduce something that could have been such a major illness with multiple procedures into a 2" scar that fades away more and more every day. I recommend that everyone who encounters a situation similar to this don't just brush it off as just a spot. Don't think that it's so small it's not a big deal. You could be like me. You could be the 10%!"
